Push Polling in Knoxville

Submitted by Paul Witt on Tue, 2006/10/31 - 8:06pm.

My wife answered the phone just now and it was a "poll".  They asked these questions before she hung up:

Do you intend to vote for Bob Corker?  "No"

Do you intend to vote for Harold Ford?  "Yes"

Do you want your taxes raised?   "What?"

Do you think that terrorists should have the same rights as the rest of us?  "That makes no sense. What are you talking about?"

Paraphrasing because I didn't answer the phone.  Wish I had.

FYI

The Nashville Post has got something on this, including an mp3 of the automated call. E Pluribus Media has done some follow up, as well.
